Modularity, originally intended to aid states in breaking down monolithic technology systems, offers a solution to support agile policy evolutions. Modularity has been a dramatic success in many ways, shortening implementations, reducing vendor lock-in, and promoting innovation. However, complex procurement processes and lengthy implementations persist, preventing states from fully realizing the transformative potential of analytics.

This white paper delves into the significance of modularity, the need to refocus technology procurements on achieving tangible business outcomes, and provide actionable steps to advance technology in alignment with innovation.
